Reviews / Votes
'So tense I had to put it down occasionally to breathe normally. It's brutal & horrifying with a raw, beautiful love story at its core. Incredible writing from Josh Silver.' Sue Wallman, author of Lying about Last Summer 'I inhaled this book... An action-packed rollercoaster ride...full of laugh-out-loud moments of relief as well as profound observations on the way we view mental health and it's relationship to happiness as a society.' Natasha Devon, author of Toxic 'Thrilling, witty and thought provoking...a rollercoaster of a read. It won't let you go, from the tense opening chapter through to an absolutely unforgettable ending.' Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills 'Dead happy to get my hands on this brilliant sequel... disturbingly believable! Rare to find a YA that's genuinely funny and has something important to say.' Tracy Darnton, author of The Truth About Lies'Spectacular and unexpected... It's rare that I'm caught off-guard by a book these days...outstandingly written and developed, and the story is perfectly paced to keep you turning those pages. I loved it.'
